The Hertie School of Governance, Berlin
A European Professional School for Public Policy is recruiting an
Assistant Professor of Public Management/Public Administration
The Hertie School of Governance is an international teaching and research center of excellence that prepares students for leadership positions in government, business, and civil society. An internationally-recruited faculty, interdisciplinary in outlook, research, and teaching, offers analytically challenging and practice-oriented courses on governance, policy analysis, management, and leadership. As a professional school, Hertie School faculty has a strong commitment to high-quality teaching. Our goal is to help students grow intellectually in a professional, research-intensive environment, characterized by public debate and engagement.
The Hertie School seeks to expand its expertise in the fields of public management, public sector innovation and reforms, with a special emphasis on digitalization. The search committee invites applications from junior candidates from relevant disciplines such as public management/administration, sociology, organizational studies, political sciences or economics. Candidates are expected to have an international research/professional profile covering public sector developments and reforms in OECD and/or CEE countries. The position is full-time, for up to six years, with a mid-term evaluation, and may be extended. The expected start date is 1 September 2016. Please note that the position is contingent upon the availability of funds.
Applicants should hold or expect to receive a doctoral degree before the position begins. We are interested in candidates who demonstrate the capacity for independent research at the highest levels in their discipline, either through an established record of publication in top outlets or, for very junior candidates, unpublished writing samples. The Hertie School seeks faculty with a commitment to intensive, high-quality teaching and innovative research of potential interest to the international scholarly community and policy-makers. Candidates are expected to show full commitment to working in an interdisciplinary, international environment with English as the language of instruction and operation.
The successful applicant is expected to teach courses in the School's Master, Executive and PhD programs, and contribute to research on public management. He or she is also expected to take a role in the School's future Public Management and Innovation Center.
We offer a competitive salary in line with the candidate's qualifications, excellent working conditions, a vibrant research environment, and a lively community of policy debate in the political heart of Germany.
The Hertie School particularly encourages applications from female scholars and from candidates with international backgrounds.
The deadline for submission of applications is 15 January 2016. The Hertie School will review applications that include a letter of motivation and a current curriculum vitae (publication list, degrees earned, if applicable: positions held, teaching experience, research projects, awards received), two writing samples and, if applicable, teaching evaluations. Candidates whose PhD was earned less than three years ago, should include three letters of recommendation from professors who are familiar with their work. Applicants with more than three years of experience, may list contact information for three references although letters are also welcome.
